i dont see how that would screw it up, were talking very small just for fun. And catch photo RELEASE. ill be fishing there whether there is a little tournament or not

Any creek the size of flat creek is no secret, obviously crappie will be in it in the spring. i like seeing the pics and ill post some two......old timers think they own the lake

I used to have an 2005 Santa Fe and i have a Pro Craft 192 Super Pro which is probably the same weight as your boat. I couldnt imagine towing it with it. the front wheel drive until it slips is just awkward. I have a Nissan frontier now and it drinks the gas but tows okay. We moved my brothers sailboat trailer a couple miles once when we move that weighed prob 2000# and that was about it for the Santa Fe. It was the v6 Santa Fe. I think it had plenty of power, prob more than my Frontier but i dont think it towed near as friendly

Gotcha. Always wondered

Why do people use real long rods with a long leader instead of just using a slip bobber?

I kinda think that might be the best way, most SPF Lake jon boats dont have live wells, and id hate to drag bass around on a stringer

They were 4-8 FOW

We were along the stretch by the railroad tracks out in the main lake

Ill do it, i fish there quite a bit

Fly fishing below powersite would be a challenge, Below Table Rock dam would be your best bet... they pretty much eat a variety , midge, scud, egg, wooly bugs.....guaranteed a few fish on one of those,www.Charteredwaters.com gives a great well written report, almost entertaining to read.

A guy i know that fishes Bull a ton said they are going to make it a Striper fishery, I know its a big rumor/debate, is there any truth behind it. I didnt believe because i figured i would have read about it on here. Just ?????? not looking for a debate on why or why not they should be stocked

Any tips on making it work worth a crap...it has DI but it doesnt show anything ever, i can throw an A-rig under it and see nothing, Sonar never hardly shows anything either....I have a Garmin 550 in the front and i can see my 4lb line all the way to my jig....I just dont feel like it is working correctly, i have watched you tube vids and set all the setting to a real general setting that people say work great and read all kinds of forums with people talking about settings, ive tried everything....It was on the boat when i got it, so im wondering if there could be any issues with how it was installed, i feel like the install has to be the issue....I have friends with the cheaper DI humminbirds and i was very impressed....about ready to scrap it for a Lowrance .......Any pointers would be great

thats great, Crappie seem to be scattered....feel like it tough to get a consistent bite right now.. I usually fish the other end of the lake towards Bridgeport...nice to hear someone is catching them....Not a lot of crappie reports on here, I know people are catching them and i dont blame them for keeping a there secretes.

After doing a lot of diving in the lakes, i have noticed that the bottom of the lake is pretty much covered with algea and what not, if you touch the bottom or a log it creates a big ca-motion and visibility goes to zero, so i think a bass sees that more than actual color, just a big disturbance in the water that gets them curious. And as far as rattles, i know a crawdad or a shad doesnt rattle but we like to take rocks and tap our aluminum tanks and the bass just come flying in to see what its all about, Walleye do it too but they get a look at you and they are gone so we usually have to shoot fast when spear fishing. Obviously its illegal to shoot bass, it would be to easy and deplete the population very quick. Diving has really taught me a lot about bass fishing, Bass are so curious they really will check out about anything that is different, getting them to eat it is a different story though... We Dive BS a lot more than Table Rock, because we like to spearfish and you cant do it in MO. If you ever get a chance though it is really interesting to dive and see how bass react in there own environment, im a fair weather Diver and only do it when its warm and we rarely go over 30 feet, you dont see a whole lot deeper than that in the summer.....Just my two cents. Once they get a good look at a jig i do think size is probably the biggest factor

The big one was 16 3/4, the and a couple 15's and...I couldnt believe it but there are some big crappie in there...I havent caught hardly any since that day...We just got lucky

I got rid of 2 Curados for the cheap 79 dollar Lews...And not the least bit mad about it. Just got a Lews BB1 last summer and it is a fine machine

Never have really tried, I have only fished aunts a handful of times... I dont think its really a big enough creek for them to run up to spawn, James river and Flatt creek they def. go up though

I caught a whole bunch of whites in the very back of Aunts last winter, may have been a fluke. It was fun surprise. Bridgeport and Flatt creek is where I go for the crappie.

34Lb Flatty in the back of a cove on a Trot line near Kimberling

I fished pads a ton last two years with 14lb mono, lots of fish, never broke one off. Never caught anything over 3lb though either...i tried 50lb braid and i dont think you can cast it as far and it also absorbs more water and tends to get a little heavy when your twitching the frog along

Well put Nitroman

More flathead in the rock way more smallies in Bull, Rarely go down in either one with out seeing a half dozen 5Lb bass. they are curious and follow you around when your diving. Kinda makes me sick to think every time i throw a lure in, bass see it, just have to convince them to eat it.

I dive them both and the fish attractors the conservation puts out are 3 times the size on bull, but there is less natural structure.

Captain Jacks resort is very nice. check it out if you google captain jacks on bull shoals it will come up

I have the Medium Fast Duckett Micro in 7' paired up with a Lews BB1and i love it. it will cast a mile
